Clifton House is an attractive legacy property in an historic neighborhood near Cincinnati's best educational institutions. Surrounded by shrubs and flowers (including a lovely rose arbor), the attractive brick exterior of the house is matched by floors, woodwork, and furnishings of the interior. Breakfast is a special treat that is prepared by a chef from the Culinary Institute nearby (and... More

I'm a frequent busuness traveler and this past year I've booked over 15 B & B's throughout the Midwest. I have to say that Nancy really has a gem of a place! You will love the spaciousness of this beautiful home and it's proximity to some fun shops, great restaurants, La Poste (salmon and bread pudding outstanding) and a pleasant... More

My husband and I live and work in Indianapolis. My husband works downtown and by the end of the week leading to Superbowl he just needed to get away from Indianapolis. Cincinnati was the most logical (and close) choice. We take many trips to Cincinnati, but have always stayed in hotels, or stayed in B&B's in Covington, Kentucky (just across... More

We reserved a room with a jacuzzi, which was much appreciated on a cold February evening. Our room was large and comfy. The only thing I would have added would be side tables next to the wing chairs so you would have somewhere to put your cup of tea (always available in the upstairs foyer). It was a short and... More

If you are looking for a peaceful night in a 1900 manor, look no further. The Clifton House is perfectly situated next to the Ludlow business district and is less than a mile from the University of Cincinnati. The decor is tasteful and the ambiance inviting. Feel like an afternoon snack? Help yourself to wine and brownies in the pantry.... More

I had a particularly enjoyable stay at the Clifton House B&B this Thanksgiving holiday week. Great host, really interesting guests and a spontaneous party putting up the lovely Christmas tree! I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Cincinnati. Oh, did I mention the scrumptous breakfasts? More

Very well-run b&b in every way--comfortable, welcoming, clean, and organized. The Clifton neighborhood is a very interesteing, eclectic area that adds a lot to the experience. The guests at the breakfast table also are likely to be very interesting to meet--the day we were there, an epidemiologist and a museum director. We will definitely make this our Cincinnatti destination of... More

The Clifton House is a gracious turn of the century house in Cincinnati,in walking distance to Ludlow Street in colorful Clifton, a very pleasant area to browse, eat, and visit. The innkeeper Nancy is generous and very familiar with the area and city and will help as requested with a smile. Rooms are all on the second floor up a... More

Beautiful inn yet very comfortable and relaxed, felt like a home away from home. The innkeeper, Nancy, is wonderful. Great stay! More

The Clifton House is gorgeous inside and the adorable cottage was a mini dream-house. I didn't want to leave even to go out to dinner! Immaculate, comfortable, supplied with great magazines and books; even the bathroom was charming, with a jacuzzi tub and lots of room. I wished I were staying two weeks instead of two nights. Delicious breakfasts with... More
